Assessing climate change impact of blue ammonia via carbon capture and utilization in life cycle modelling

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: as a co-product. However, this will be at the expense of incentivizing the production of blue ammonia. This work advances the methodologies for LCA of multi-functional CCU systems, demonstrating the potential for shared incentives in the transition to a new ammonia generation system as a prime example. Nonetheless, it also highlights limitations in regions where the energy source is dominated by fossil fuels or where the energy source is fully renewable. The current TfS framework methodology proposition is therefore a short-term solution to promote the sustainable production of blue ammonia with CCU applications.
